Latest News and EventsWhat is Sarcoma?
Malignant (cancerous) tumors of the connective tissues are called "sarcomas." As cancers of the connective tissue, sarcomas develop fat, blood vessels, nerves, bones, muscles, deep skin tissue, tendons and cartilage. Sarcomas are divided into two main groups - bone tumors and soft tissue tumors. They are further classified based on the type of cell found in the tumor, although all sarcomas share certain microscopic characteristics and have similar symptoms.
What is Rein in Sarcoma?
Rein in Sarcoma is a resource for families touched by sarcomas, an uncommon and often lethal group of bone and soft tissue cancers that may even strike children and younger adults, leaving an especially tender heartbreak. Often working in partnership with the University of Minnesota, Mayo Clinic and Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, and Health Partners/Region's Hospital, Rein in Sarcoma seeks to fund innovative, collaborative and high-impact research and education initiatives.
